Have you ever loved something, only to realize it’s a commercial flop or just obscure? What’s something that deserves more light than it got?

Games: Epistory and Nanotale. Both typing games from Fishing Cactus. Absolutely beautiful games that have interesting stories and you get to practice with your typing skills. I love both of these games so much.
Tv: Sliders. It was fairly popular when it was running and got kind of weird at the end, but I love that show. It was one that my family got together to watch every episode each week when they were on broadcast. I was also part of an early online petition to save the show and move it to the SciFi channel. I was also part of the early online petition to save MST3K, back when online petitions actually worked.
Movie: Ghostbusters Answer the Call. People will disagree with me but I unapologetically DGAF. That movie is hilarious and I love putting it on when I work out. It’s a far better Ghostbusters movie than the last two garbage ones that were put out. It has everything from the original: dark adult horror comedy about scientists who save the world. The last two were not true GB movies, they are family friend teen coming of age movies with a plot that depended so heavily on nostalgia that they felt like a crappy cash grab. ATC is my second favorite GB movie behind only the original. Holtzman is my hero!
It's a great Ghostbusters movie. No argument here.
If anyone's giving it a chance for the first time, I do recommend the extended edition. For some reason the theatrical cut out the low point of the relationship arc between the two main characters.
I don't think all the humour lands, but enough of it does, and the movie has a good heart. At the very least it remembered that Ghostbusters is a comedy. The new movies have the same flavour as every Marvel superhero outing.
Good advice, the extended movie is better and that low point I think is important to the story.
I wanted to love Afterlife. I didn’t see it in theaters, but after the reaction to Answer the Call, I was so excited for a new Ghostbusters movie that I bought and watched it the day it came out on iTunes. I cannot emphasize enough how much of a disappointment Afterlife was. I have not watched it a second time and I have no interest in watching Frozen Throne.
I grew up on Ghostbusters movies and cartoons from the 80-90s. I just get so mad that the new ones forgot what a Ghostbusters movie is and I feel robbed of a sequel ATC.
💯
It was the CGI Spengler at the end that sealed the deal of garbage movie 🤮
At least ATC honored Harold Ramis with a bust
